About to buy an Xbox, is it possible to play WMA music files on them? either off a CD or the HDD. What is involved?

Cheers!

Yes you can, you need to be able to run XBMP (Xbox Media Player).

Theres loads to explain about it (need a modchip, run XBMP off CD-RW or hard disk) but it would take me ages to type so...

www.xbox-scene.com and dont forget the forums aswell.

Oh and DJ Dunk may have a few things to tell you

Yep A couple of ways.

1) Put tunes on a CD-RW in audio format and rip them to the HDD using the MS Dashboard. The original MS Dashboard stores the files in 128kbps 16-bit WMA format. You can then play the tunes in some games.

2) Chip the Xbox and use XBox Media Player to playback wma, mp2, avi, ogg, etc.
